Seeking to make amends after their first domestic loss of the season, Arsenal head north to tackle Newcastle United at St James' Park in Saturday evening's Premier League tie.
The Gunners bowed out of the EFL Cup on Wednesday evening, succumbing to West Ham United's superiority in a 3-1 beating as Ben White's own goal preceded efforts from Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen.
However, Mikel Arteta's team are now 10 games into the new Premier League season without defeat, having trounced Sheffield United 5-0 last weekend to cement second place in the table, two point behind arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with Newcastle, who ended Manchester United's EFL Cup title defence with a 3-0 Old Trafford romping in midweek.
